10+ steps to getting started with a digital classroom

1.
Is this your scenario:
• Longing to have devices in the classroom?
• Don’t know where to start?
• Well on your way but just looking for a few
ideas?
• You have a laptop and a data projector and
that is all? Or just a laptop?

3.
Step 2: Get familiar with a
Social Learning Management
system such as EDMODO or
OBAMI

You would use them to deal with a possible future issue of
managing your students' digital work.
1) Free: They allow an unlimited number of teachers and
students to create accounts and use their system at no cost.
2) Interface: A Facebook-like interface that is clean, appealing to
students and fairly easy to use.
3) No Email Required: Do not require an email account and they
both have a simple student-self-sign-up-system.
4) They include assessment building tools, discussion platforms,
assignment creators, scheduling tools and announcement
boards, badges for good work etc.
5) Google Drive Integration: They allow students and teachers to
connect their Google Drive accounts.

6.
Why use a YouTube channel?
1) Compile and collect video resources (save to your
favourites) for your own personal professional use, or
for classroom or student use.
2) Add your students’ creations.
3) Video clips on relevant topics make them
come alive. Shorten clips with Tube Chop
4) Make your channel as private or visible as
you like
5) Make slideshows with class photos. Add music etc.
6) Add comments and speech bubbles to photos

• I love these three curating sites plus many
more. Teachers love Pinterest. Sets out the
boards so attractively (Warning – you can
spend hours here.)
• Symbaloo is great for collecting weblinks
neatly
• Scoop.it is also something I love to use – only
five free ones allowed.

• The whole world opened to me when I
started a classroom blog
• Other teachers would comment and
soon you would develop new friends.
• Collaborative story writing, Flat Stanley
project etc. Often when I go overseas
I meet up with a teacher who is a
blogging friend.
• Class can email posts to your blog.
